Hyderabad: Woman attacked by pack of stray dogs in Manikonda

Hyderabad: A woman was attacked by a pack of stray dogs while she was on a morning walk in Chitrapuri Hills in Manikonda. The CCTV clip of the incident has gone viral on social media platforms, with residents demanding strict action. Around 10-15 dogs chased the woman and dragged her to the parking lot of a building. The footage shows her falling on the ground and the dogs surrounding her. Fortunately, she maintained her balance and managed to escape with only bite wounds.

After the incident, her husband released a video through which he appealed to others to feed stray dogs outside the colony. “We also have two pet dogs and we love dogs too. But you cannot feed your leftover food to stray dogs. They will come here in large numbers. My wife could have died. She is an adult and she was in such a helpless state, what would have happened if it was a child in her place?” he asked in the viral clip. Reacting to the incident, the Manikonda Municipality informed its partner organisation Blue Cross, who reached the spot and caught nine stray dogs and vaccinated them.
